Comparing Minox X-HD with the competition
Made In Germany Binoculars
Even the most expensive Minox pair of XD binoculars 'Made in Germany' is under £900. Leica and Zeiss offer similar models.
The best way to compare models from different brands is to try them out. Easier said that done in the UK with stocks and dealers at a premium. Birding Fairs such as Global Birding, are always good for this.
But how to make a decision. The XD models from Minox have subtly diferent specifications to Leica, or Zeiss but there are common elements to all.
Comparing the XD against both Trinovid HD and Ultravid HD, the XD's come out very well. All Minox models have magnesium bodies, and 10 year guarantee, phase-corrected prisms, multicoating and identical waterproofing.
Minox delcare that their ED lenses exclusively designed for the company, Leica suggest ED glass for the Ultravid, but this is not defined.
If it comes down to price, the UK RRP of the Trinovid 10x42 is £1040, the Ultravid 10x42 HD £2100 and the Minox X-HD 10x44 RRP is £797. The comparable Zeiss pair is £1100.
You have to ask yourself, 'Is the performance difference betwen the Minox and the competition really worth the extra money? Only you can decide. Come and try out a pair of Minox and see what we mean.
If money is tight, and quality a priority, consider the Minox. Binoculars do not hold similar resale values to cameras.
